About Squads Game

Squads Game is the next-generation fan engagement platform for sports lovers. We’re building Africa’s most loved fantasy sports and fan engagement platform, redefining what it means to be both a casual and non-casual football fan engaged in sports gaming & entertainment.

As the sports landscape evolves, fans are becoming just as passionate about individual players as they are about entire teams, and we’ve built an experience around that shift.

With over 250,000 users and counting, we’re on a mission to make fan participation more fun, rewarding, easy, and accessible, powered by data, driven by passion, knowledge, and skill. The people who make this happen are fun, smart, and creative. If that sounds like you, we want you on our team!

You’ll be responsible for owning the end-to-end product lifecycle: from understanding user needs, identifying growth opportunities, crafting intuitive experiences, and launching features that engage, excite, and retain our growing community of users. This role is equal parts strategy, execution, and obsession with great user experiences. You’ll operate at the intersection of sports, data, gaming, and innovation, working closely with cross-functional teams to make sure everything we ship moves the needle for users and the business. If you love solving tough product problems, get excited by creating magic from data and behavior insights, and are passionate about building things that people truly love, this role is for you.
